There is no "definitive plan" to lift the remaining restrictions on maternity hospitals.
Yesterday, campaigners met with the HSE in the hopes limits on partners in hospitals would be lifted.
However, Linda Kelly from Better Maternity Care said there is no concrete plan for when limits on antenatal appointments will end.
She said the group was left disappointed by yesterday's talks.
"In light of what the NPHET letter says, and in light of what happened around restrictions, we were really hopeful that we'd be discussing dates and timelines and plans today - maybe even looking at a draft guidance."
"And that didn't happen unfortunately."
She says ongoing limits on maternity care is causing trust issues between women and a healthcare and that scrapping the restrictions would make women feel safe again in maternity settings.
Ms Kelly said that women need to feel supported by their partner and not made to feel like they need to make a choice between their partner and accessing care.
